"The spectrum that the broadcasters use to transmit over the air programming belongs to the American public and we believe you should have a right to access that live programming whether your antenna sits on the roof of your home, on top of your television or in the cloud," Kanojia asserted.

"It has been staggering and we are so grateful for your emails, Tweets and Facebook posts. Keep your voices loud and sign up for updates at ProtectMyAntenna.org - our journey is far from done," he said.

Headed by Kanojia, Aereo has developed cloud-based antenna and DVR technology that allows consumers to watch live or recorded HD broadcast television on virtually any type of Internet-connected device, including smart TVs, smartphones, tablets and computers.

Kanojia launched the product in New York last year and then extended it to 10 other cities.

Soon the top American cable broadcasters including ABC, CBS and Fox approached the Supreme Court alleging that Aereo was infringing current copy right laws.
